Redesigning my virtual hub!

As some may have noticed, kylesaric.com, the blog itself and my twitter profile have gone under major redesign works!

In my previous blog post I mentioned the design I’ve come up with for my mothers website (which will stay under construction until my exams have finished!). I totally loved the design and have decided to redo my personal website and that led to completely scrapping the old design, html and css files and start from scratch. I learnt a lot on the way and have used various new coding methods including more CSS and some PHP that I never used before. Credit goes to @adammachin for finding the simplepie php extension and helping me use that to get an RSS header on my main site. I won’t bore anyone with the underlying architecture of my website since I will post a portfolio blog post detailing everything at a later stage.

As per usual, one thing led to another and I’ve decided to also redo my twitter page which, of course, was no way near as much work as my personal page! It quite simply involved changing the settings to match colors represented on my personal site and coming up with a .png background image. That then led to changing the one left over piece; my blog. I have yet to still create my own wordpress theme (it will happen one day!) but I still love the simplicity of my current theme (design by Igor Penjivrag) so I decided to simply change most of the CSS to match colors represented on my website!

As mentioned above, look out for a blog post in the near future explaining in a lot more detail some of the underlying architecture of my new website, how things came about and why I chose the current colors.
